Our
trip was incredible though - a real eye-opener
for Micah and Manda. Actually,
Micah adapted so well it made me very proud
of the little guy. After delivering medicines
and nutrition food to a church as required,
he ran around with his shirt off, chased chickens,
adored every stray cat and dog, ate and loved
the food, was incredibly patient as we faced
all the usual travails...in other words I think
he might actually be Cuban! Manda also
enjoyed the hospitality and ingenuity of the
Cubans. While traveling between churches
we got to travel around a bit and see some
interesting countryside, we went to some museums
and saw some sights like the cannon firing
ceremony at the Moorish fortress...it was a
good trip. |

We
are truly grateful for the opportunity to
take this unique trip and assist in your
efforts with the medicine program. Hopefully
our associa-tion will continue into the future
and we can continue to benefit your worthy
cause. |

Thank
the Lord for a new organization called the ”Evangelical Christian Humanitarian
Outreach.” This group has included
us under their license from Washington to permit
us to re-enter Cuba to take medicines to the
needy and to help their program with the needy
and the society. As I understand it,
there were numerous missionaries who were shut
out of Cuba. I do not understand the
laws of our country or theirs very well, but
I know I just returned from 15 days in Cuba. My
responsibility was to drop off certain medical
supplies at a specific address in Cuba, and
then I was free to visit our churches as usual. |

| |
Changes,
changes, and changes…Cuba’s
immigration and custom laws have changed and
this could be good. I could hardly believe
what was happening as I breezed thru immigration
and customs with NO questions being asked about
anything. What a transformation! Praise
the Lord! |

Hi
Vanessa, It was a GREAT
trip. I was interviewed for about 15-20
minutes upon my arrival and was questioned
extensively about the purpose of my trip and
was asked repeatedly about how many times I
had come there. I am pretty sure however,
that all this was related to the camera equipment
I had with me rather than anything else. I
had bought as a gift, a very nice camera with
an extra zoom lens and was taking it with me
to give to a Peruvian friend who was going
to be in Cuba at the same time we were. After
quizzing me for a while, they asked me to open
my carry-on and they took out the camera equipment
and inspected it, took a lot of notes about
it and then told me to "pass". The
others in this group were only asked if this
was their first trip to Cuba (for one of them
it was and for the other it was the 4th) and
they were asked what was the purpose of the
trip and they said (tourist) and they were
passed without further questions. We
delivered the vitamins and the computers you
sent to me along with a lot of other vitamins
and meds and other resources. |
 |
| |
The
whole trip home was without questions other
than things like "How
was your trip?" in Havana. We
went through Cancun and the transit in the
Mexican airport was easy. Upon arrival
in the U.S., we were asked no questions and
were not asked for our licenses. |
 |
| |
Thanks
for your help with the logistics AND for
your prayers for us. God
blessed us in a mighty way and used us to bless
others. All trip goals were accomplished. If
you need more information, let me know. I
think I'll have another group for January. I'll
let you know as soon as they confirm. Bendiciones, Pepe |
